"clacker"... Laughing

Marty- tumbler's put away....for good, harumph!
Only thing I lube aint getting stuck in a gun.

One of the reloading manuals (I forget which) warns that case lube residue on brass can prevent the case from sticking to the chamber walls the way it should when the case expands. Evidence of this (according to the manual) is cratered primers and inconsistent velocities.

Maybe you better keep the tumbler out, after all.

Ok, Vince. I'm enjoying learning all the variations between American and Austrailian English (like in your post above).

Are you sure you spelled "batteries" correctly, mate?

Ah, its a wee bit early this morning, but I've got to get crackin!

Too many jokes must have pushed your post off the top-30 page!

Impressive, stovepipe. However, I'm a function guy to the core. You don't have to shine your brass for me. Save your time for other important things in life.

Well, did you use citric acid to descale the brass?
maybe that would help.. extra shiny Smile

No one likes my flying purple people eater or my super shiny new rounds that I made all super duper shiny, just for you guys...esp. Wiersy. Crying or Very sad

Fine- no more super shiny stuff for y'all. Back to grungy reloads and I'll save 3 hours a session...tumbler goes back in the closet for another two years till I see it again, if ever. Pullin' the batteries from the purple dood too and those are going back in the remote. No more happy super shiny reloads dance! Ever! Nananana

I hate picke'n them dang flash holes clean of kitty litter anyways, what a freakin pain... Mad

Shiny shiny shiny! Smile

Forgot how nice tumbled rounds look. Might do this more often. Suckers look like factory stuff now.

Confirmed my new .45 load Saturday. Cases I managed to recover were a little haggard from several reloads. So I tumbled them to smooth the rims up some while I was out shooting trap. Had an addtion to the urban reloading bench in the form of LEE reloader press for EL Kabong loads, too. The bench-mascot is a one eye'd, one horned, flying purple people eater. Squeeze his paw and he dances and sings the classic song.

Lotsa shiny bullets- SHINY, do you hear Wiresy! Razz

Four channel quad may be the for runner of surround sound except quadraphonic was an attempt to place four different sounds in four different places. Surround sound is the attempt to surround you with the one signal in multi locations giving you the [so called] feeling that you are in a theater. Not even close!!
